As stated earlier, there is a large gap on language between manual
section definitions and definition for sbin/bin:

hier(7) says:

      /sbin  Like /bin, this directory holds commands needed to boot the 
system, but which  are  usually
             not executed by normal users.

      /usr/sbin
             This  directory contains program binaries for system 
administration which are not es‐
             sential for the boot process, for mounting /usr, or for system 
repair.

man-pages(7) says:

      1 User commands (Programs)
                 Those commands that can be executed by the user from within a 
shell.

      8 System management commands
                 Commands like mount(8), many of which only root can execute.

Also, "fixing" this means renaming a manual page and patching the various
references to it.
